Vortices in flight

Vortices in flight
Flow vortices over the wing of ATRA become visible with the laser during the test flight. The condensation generated by the vortices make it stand out. To the far left the tip of the wing is indirectly illuminated, and the winglet is visible. The bright line marks the impingement of the light section on the wing.
